Rules

Where are the rules for the Forgeworld space marine air defence command platform?

I see it on their site, but have no idea what it does.

And LEGION MKIV OUTRIDER SQUADRON. Omg these look cool (I havnt been to the Forgeworld site in a long ass time)

aeronautica

Going to look for it.

Matt, send me your email caddy via PM or Twitter.

outriders are 30k biker squads. they get to do neat wargear choices;

the entire squad replaces their TL Bolters for:
TL flamers (15pts per model in unit)
TL Meltaguns (25pts per model in unit)
TL Plasmaguns (25pts per model in unit)

one in every 3 models can swap their chainsword for a power weapon @10pts, or their bolt pistol for a hand flamer (10pts) or plasma pistol(10pts). 

they also come with the Scout rule.

interesting.
So, in a normal game they wouldn't be allowed then? I hear all this "no 30k" stuff on the forums here (maybe just for tournaments)

30k is a forgeworld created system.

Right now they have only the heresy era space marinw armies... no other races.

The books a re amazing.. and of course primarchs. You havent seen any of the primarch rules?

No I haven't. Does Sanguinius have rules? *crosses fingers*

If I were to get some of these sexy looking bikers at some point, would I have to use them as reg bikes from my chapter, or could I use the FW rules for them? Or only if the game I was playing "allowed 30k" ?

30k is a bit of a different beast, but so long as your opponent knows it's coming it's not too bad, I don't think.

30k is clearly balanced against itself.

It's fun, crossover games are fun, the models are gorgeous, but mixing 40k and 30k in a tournament is a non-starter for me.

The whole ruleset is completely different.. youd have to use them as bikes from your book.

You can play a 30k list against 40k.. but.. its fairly different. If the 30k player brings out the good stuff.. its a tough battle. If hes playing it easy it should be fine. I played Dan with a 30k Iron Hands list and it was fine.

No Sanguinus yet. Angron, Fulgrim, Ferrus, and Lorgar have models so far. There are rules for a bunch more though.. Horus, Mortarion, Conrad.. hmm, is that it so far?

My opinion (for what its worth)
A regular marine dex list is on average a 5.... can be dialed up to 7-8.
A HH list averages a 5.... but some of the wacky stuff piled up can make it a 10+.

When you get your hands on the list look it over, you can likely make something fun from it.

I'm not sure how well it meshes with std 40k as a whole. I've seen no issues, and I don't see how it can be worse that anything from the std codecii, but it has sorta the same effect you mentioned playing the new Tau- "they can do WHA??!?!"
